You could take your reasoning to physical security, and say that banks shouldn't be expected to protect customers' safe deposit boxes, because a bank robber could open a huge short position in the bank, rob them, and profit from the loss of customer trust.


Nope.

The equivalent argument is that if one branch of a bank gets robbed they should be fined to near bankruptcy, which would almost certainly cause a drop in shareholder value.
